Note:These pages make extensive use of the latest XHTML and CSS Standards. They ought to look great in any standards-compliant modern browser. Unfortunately, they will probably look horrible in older browsers, like Netscape 4.x and IE 4.x. Moreover, many posts use MathML, which is, currently only supported in Mozilla. My best suggestion (and you will thank me when surfing an ever-increasing number of sites on the web which have been crafted to use the new standards) is to upgrade to the latest version of your browser. If that's not possible, consider moving to the Standards-compliant and open-source Mozilla browser.

Poll for sci.physics.strings

Posted by Urs Schreiber

Probably everybody has seen the Call for Votes for the creation of a new USENET newsgroup with the proposed name ‘sci.physics.strings’ which was announced here before and which is supposed to be a place for interesting online discussion of string theory for researchers, graduate students and everybody else who is interested.

Votes are simply submitted by email, following the instructions given here. Deadline is 16 Mar 2004.

Re: Poll for sci.physics.strings

A few hours ago sci.physics.strings has started operation. It has apparently not yet appeared on all newsservers, though, and in particular won’t be listed at google groups before next week or so. But first discussions are already taking place.

Re: Poll for sci.physics.strings

We at physicsforums plan on building in full LaTeX support for the usenet group; posts in s.p.s using LaTeX will automatically be parsed and inline images will be created from the LaTeX. We will probably also be moderating s.p.s posts originating from our site.
